Two Pore Guys, Inc. announced that it is collaborating with Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. on a series of analog signal processing technologies for 2PG's solid-state nanopore diagnostic testing platform. As part of this collaboration, Maxim has invested in 2PG through its venture arm Maxim Ventures. 2PG has developed a hand-held, single-molecule diagnostic testing platform called the MoM, which stands for Molecule Meter. It is the only diagnostics technology that uses silicon nanopore chips for both nucleic acids and protein detection with single-molecule precision using strictly electronic signals. A small voltage causes individual molecules to be pulled through the nanopore chip, producing unique current impedance signatures that characterize each molecule with high accuracy and fast time to results.
